The current government’s governance still faces inadequate public participation, lack of effective responses and other problems, which have a direct impact on the orderly interactions between the government and social entities. This book focuses on two core subjects: “the relationship between social capital and government credit and its inherent mechanism” and “in what way the construction of credit government relies on the sound interaction between the government and the society”. To examine the relationship between social capital and government credit, the book attempts to analyze the means and mechanisms for one part to exert influence on the other through the Structural Equation Model and puts forward a credit government construction model for dual-party synergy in development. Given the new tests facing government credit in the new era of governance, it is a prerequisite for the national governance system and governance capability modernization to stress that social capital affects governance through government credit. As the core principles of social capital, trust, mutual benefit, regulations and participating network are the key to government-public communication, which merge into the power to enhance social cohesion, promote diversification of governance entities and power sources, and thus formulate a political ecology with sound accumulation.

This book includes seven chapters. Chapter 1 illustrates the background and significance of the study and formulates the basic framework based on questions. Chapter 2 is the rationale on the status quo of pertinent research and literature review. Chapter 3 introduces the relationship between social capital and government credit, namely the analysis framework for credit government. Chapter 4 makes the empirical analysis on the relationship between social capital and government credit. Chapter 5 explores the construction of credit government and the application of the research conclusions. Chapter 6 outlines the approaches to the construction of credit government. Chapter 7 reveals the role of credit government in providing a cornerstone for the modernization of governance capability.
